50 Gmail invites – open to public soon?

3 Feb 2005

Would you look at that? Google has given me 50 Gmail invites to give out. I’ll bet everyone else with a Gmail account would have a whole bunch of them too. This reeks of either a stress test (though I can’t really think of anyone who hasn’t got a Gmail account by this time) or a public release of Gmail soonish.

And for those of you who wrote to ask if I was OK, thank you for your concern. I’m rather fine, not doing too well balancing work, writing, and a World of Warcraft addiction. I’ll be blogging more once I submit my final draft, but before that, blogging will remain sketchy.

Oh, has any Community Champion got their autographed Firefox T-shirt yet? I haven’t heard anything from sfx, but then again, I haven’t really been keeping up.

yeah…. I got that many as well… Odd stuff… Kind of pointless… *shrugs*

As for the SFX thing… I requested a print of the ad… Haven’t even gotten an email back… SFX = Ball Droppers. SFX should be disbanded and more responsible people put in place…

Sick huh? Many echo my thoughts: Gmail is going public soon, no doubt.

Yup, I think they’ll go public very soonish…I’ve seen reports of people having up to 200 invites around the net…

Perhaps it is open. They just want to track who invites who.

Me too… I thought they have some bug on this… 50 Invitations! Now it is proved that everyone have the same amount of invitations…

I’ll bet everyone else with a Gmail account would have a whole bunch of them too.

Actually, no. While many people have gotten the 50 invites, a number of others (including me) have found that our unused invitations have been cancelled, leaving 0.

One possible explanation is that I don’t actively use Gmail. And I’ve only given out a few invites.

Anyway, it looks like Google has changed from “everybody gets a few” to “some people get tons and other people get none.”

I’ve still only got 4 invites. I can’t even give those away. I’d dread to think how hard it would be to give away 50, yet alone 200.

Write on!
As for the GMail, I currently have 4 X 50 = 200 invites. Yikes!

Stu Schaff

I have 5 still. I feel slightly neglected … :(

I read the same message of invitation in many blogs thats mind tha’s false be carefully.

CarLBanks

February 4th, 2005 at 12pm

I got my 50 finally tonight and one went to someone looking for an invite who emailed me. The other 49 went to http://isnoop.net

I still only have my previous 4!! even though I’m already using gmail as my main account.

Michele

February 5th, 2005 at 12am

Thought (and blogged) the same thing. Otherwise, I don’t know what they’re trying to do…

February 5th, 2005 at 2am

hey! take care, don’t tire yourself out. =)

anyway i’ve got quite a number of gmail invites too, but doesn’t matter even if google removes them. cos if they never, the invites will be there and they’ll still be there for quite some time.. really can’t think of anyone to give to. =p

I had ten, but soon after I mailed out four of those, I went up to 50. (!)

Jason

Yeah, I have two gmail accounts and put up the links on my web page. http://www.insane-taco-plan.net/gmail.html

I have 250 invites, perhaps they are never going to have a public release but instead release more and more accounts gradually.

Your ‘enlarge comments textarea’ also works in opera 8 beta..

Vic

February 8th, 2005 at 1am

I hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to start being charged for GMail usage when they public. That would not be fun….

Stu Schaff

February 8th, 2005 at 9am

Turns out I just got 50, too, though I originally thought otherwise.

Hallaj

February 8th, 2005 at 3pm

Awwww.. you guys are rather lucky I guess. Last I checked, I have 2 invites remaining. Need to start saving my invites already from now onwards..

James H.

February 13th, 2005 at 6am

I, too, have recieved 50 invites. I think they want to see how much they can handle, and that release is still a little ways away.

No more selling a GMail invite on EBay for 200 bucks? Damn, I need a real job now. *g*

I just got invited by being on google’s announcement mailing list, so did a couple of friends; after personal invites, then mass mailing list invites, I’d think going public is the last step :)
